14. Strip insulation off the three connector wires 3/8 inch (10 mm).
15. Connect like colored wires from the pigtail to like colored wires from the packer male connector with wire nuts.
When finished connecting the wires, neatly coil wires inside the packer's wiring compartment (see Figure 14
on page 17).
16. Get a 2.090''ID x 0.118'' wide o-ring from the hardware/seal kit. Lubricate the o-ring on the packer wiring
compartment cover (with lifting eyebolt) with petroleum based jelly. Screw in the packer wiring compartment
cover (thread sealant should not be used) and torque to 35 ft-lbs (50 N•m). Insure that the eyebolt has at least
five threads of engagement.
17. Remove capacitor access cover (see Figure 22 on page 24). Remove and discard the o-ring from the cover
and set aside the cover. Observe the three wiring connections from the female connector. Make a note of
which wire from the connector connects to which wire from the capacitor and incoming power wiring.
Disconnect the female connector wires and set aside the wire nuts.
18. Using a 3/16'' hex wrench, turn the set screw that holds the female connector in place about 1-1/2 turns
counterclockwise until you can lift out the connector (see Figure 35).
WARNING
Do not try to remove the set screw.
19. Get the new female connector and its 0.862'' ID x 0.103 wide o-ring from the kit. Push the three wires coming
out of the connector down through the opening in the base of its socket and into the capacitor well. As you
pull on its wires in the capacitor well, lower the connector with the flat cut in the side of the connector facing
its retaining set screw. With the connector as far down as it can go (sitting on the ridge in the base of its
socket), tighten the set screw firmly against the connector. As the set screw tightens it should rotate the
connector to its proper position relative to the male connector.
20. Reconnect the connector's three wires as per your notes made in Step 15 above.
21. Get a 2.090'' ID x 0.118'' wide o-ring from the hardware/seal kit and lubricate with petroleum jelly. Insert this
o-ring on the capacitor cover and screw in the cover. Do not use thread sealant. Torque the cover to 35 ft-lbs
(50 N•m).
